OpenAcademic is moving along nicely - Bill (FunnyMonkey) has been doing a great job of conceptualizing his thoughts and ideas. These will shortly make their way onto this site. We are ready to ramp the project up, Ben (Technical director of Elgg) is now working full-time on Elgg related projects, this included, which is great - it means we can start to make this vision a reality.

It looks like the OpenID piece is working well on the Drupal side, now we just need to get Elgg OpenID enabled and we can begin to piece together the systems, see what we have, what still needs to be built etc.

Although we have not launched or even announced OpenAcademic, the project is getting some attention from interested individuals, which is great and bodes well for the future.

What next?

We are looking to get this site into an acceptable shape to launch - we are continuing to build out the required integrations and are working on use cases/scenarios to help those interested in this approach find out more and explore how OpenAcademic might be able to help them. Exciting times ahead!
